Quality Binoculars
Best Binoculars for the Money: A Compromise Between Price and Quality
A good set of binoculars is not a small investment for the average person. Which binoculars are the best binoculars for the money will depend on your budget as binoculars can range from $50 all the way up to more than $3,000. Here we will discuss how you can make sure you will be getting the best binoculars for the money by breaking the topic down so you can buy binoculars with confidence knowing they are the best for you.
There are several factors that will need to be discussed before you can determine the best binoculars for the money for yourself.
Budget:
A person's budget will be the number one deciding factor in which binoculars will be the best for the money. With binoculars, and optics in general, you get what you pay for. Binoculars can be split up into different price ranges that a person can afford which will eliminate most that are too cheap and expensive right off the bat. It is important to stick to your budget on a purchase like this so there will not be any disappointment that you went to cheap and end up wanting new binoculars not far down the road. At the same time you don't want to feel like you spent more than what you should have. The best thing to do is to go with the best binoculars you can afford.
Quality and Price:
With binoculars, price and quality are synonymous. As quality goes up, so does price. One thing to remember though is that once you get to a certain point, quality begins to level off compared to price. In low price ranges, there is a big difference in quality. Once you get into the higher price ranges of $1,500 or more, a big jump in price, say $500, will not result in a huge jump in quality. There will be a difference if you have the binoculars side by side on a tripod, but in the field you will not notice a huge difference. That is why it is advised to go with the best you can afford.
To get into quality binoculars that are worth buying, you will need to spend at least $200. Even then, if you can afford to spend $400, you will be getting a much better product and the difference will be very noticeable. If you can afford to double your investment to $800, then you will really getting to see some true quality optics. Look through a pair of top of the line binoculars ($2,000 +) and you will see distant objects in clarity like you would not believe. Again, stick to your budget, and go with the best pair of binoculars you can afford.
Size
Binoculars come in many different sizes from big and clunky, to compact and uncomfortable to use. It is important to find a size of binocular that fits you best. For the most part, most cheap, low end binoculars are too small or too big. You will see a lot of binoculars that are huge and small in the under $200 range.
Though small binoculars might sound good as they are not bothersome to pack around, you will pay for that when you look through them. The image quality suffers as a result of being so small and they are uncomfortable to use. With big cheap binoculars, you can get a quality image, but they will not last long with hard use and you won't want to pack them around causing them to not be there when you need them.
Medium sized binoculars in the 10X42mm range are a good compromise of size and optic quality and are what most people buy today that use binoculars on a daily basis. A lot of quality can be packed into binoculars of this size. This size of binocular is also a perfect fit for the average sized hands. If you want to make sure you get the best binoculars for the money, be sure to keep them in the 10X42mm size.
Magnification:
Magnification of binoculars is called power. There are a wide range of powers to choose from. With smaller power, you will get clearer images and a wider field of view, but they will lack detail. If you want a cheap pair of binoculars, then low power will be best. If you are willing to spend a little more, say $200 or more, you can get by with 10 power or more, as the quality of the optics will make up for the field of view and image quality, and you will get more detail. For people who use binoculars on a regular basis, 10 powers is the most common magnification they prefer.

Are there any resources to help me choose binoculars?
I'll be going on a safari soon and want a pair of binoculars for the trip. I haven't used binoculars much, and I'm wondering if there are any websites that help simplify binocular-shopping. I want a pair that are simple to use but still provide high-quality viewing. Thanks!
